PREFACE 



In the conduct of our business as funeral directors, the need 
for a complete and reliable reference manual containing data 
and information of cemeteries in the vicinity of New York City, 
has been repeatedly made apparent, both in seeking information 
for our own use, and for the guidance of our patrons. Realizing 
that others must have encountered this same need for a work of 
this character, we undertook its compilation. 

The effort has been made to make the manual authoritative as 
well as comprehensive. No time or labor has been spared to 
make it accurate. In the light of our own experience we be- 
lieve we have gathered much useful and interesting information, 
and we have sought to present it in a concise and systematic 
form. The task and expense of gathering the data has been 
much greater than we anticipated. We have in the main, met 
with the hearty co-operation of the various cemetery officials, and 
we are sincerely grateful for the assistance rendered. 

In connection with the subject of cemeteries, we considered it 
desirable to present a digest of the various laws relating to the 
cemeteries referred to in the volume, and also pertaining to un- 
dertakers, embalmers, burials, transportation of the dead and 
decedents' estate. We, therefore, enlisted the aid of Mr. John 
Edward Ruston, whose peculiar qualifications as a legal specialist 
in these matters render him particularly able to know and pro- 
vide the information most necessary and valuable to undertakers 
and the public generally. We are indebted to him for the ex- 
cellent article he has contributed. 

In presenting our Manual we ask your indulgence. We have 
put about two years of painstaking labor and considerable money 
into gathering and printing this information, but to err is human, 
and should any errors or omissions exist, we shall deem it a kind- 
ness to call our attention to it. We trust our labors have not been 
in vain and that the Manual will prove itself of real and lasting 
value.

of all the cemeteries within about fifty miles of New York, their 
location, the best way to reach them, official prices of plots and 
graves, with superintendents' names and regulations, thus placing 
any person in position to obtain immediate and correct information 
concerning any of these cemeteries in wliich he may be interested. 

The manual also contains a list of the cemeteries in New 
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, a list of all 
the National Cemeteries of the United States, a list of Monu- 
ment Makers, a list of State Associations of Undertakers and 
Embalmers, a list of names and locations of all liospitals, 
morgues, coroners' offices, and burial permit offices in Greater 
New York, and an official list of the members of the American 
Association of Cemetery Superintendents. 

Finally the book contains a careful compilation, by Mr. John 
E. Ruston, of the laws of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts 
and Connecticut relating to cemeteries, undertaking and em- 
balming and the transportation rules governing shipment of 
bodies by common carriers, tlie administration of estates of 
deceased persons and the burial of soldiers and marines.

SPECIAL INFORMATION 



Prices Given were corrected by eaclj Cemetery Superintendent 
early in March, I'JIO, and are therefore official at that date. 

Unless Specifically Stated, of each Cemetery, there is no Re- 
cci\in<j; \'.-iiilt. 

Unless Specifically Stated no bodies of persons dying of con- 
tagious diseases will be placed in any Receiving Vault, in 
any Cemetery. 

Burial of Husband and Wife — There is a bit of sentiment at- 
tached to the burial of husband and wife, the idea being 
they should lie in their graves in the same relative position 
they stood before the altar at the time of their marriage. 
Therefore, the wife should be buried on the right side of 
the husband, as you enter the plot and face the monument. 

RAILROAD RATES. 

The railroads having terminal facilities either in or connected 
by ferry witli New York City ]ia\e established rates for parties 
and special cars. These railroads include the Central Railroad 
of New Jersey, Delaware, Lackawanna iJt Western, Erie, Long 
Island, Lehigh Valley, New York Central & Hudson River, New- 
York, New Haven & Hartford, New York, Susquehanna & West- 
ern, Pennsylvania and the West Shore. 

Two of these roads have cars specially arranged for funeral 
parties. The other roads use either a Pullman or a regular com- 
bination jiassenger and baggage car attached to regular trains. 
N\'lien a I'uUinan car is used the regular Pullman car rates are 
charged in addition to the rates quoted below. 

The New York Central Railroad operates cars specially de- 
signed for funeral parties, which are attached to regular trains, 
running from the Clrand Central Terminal or the ir)r)th Street 
Station of the Putnam Division. Or a special train will be run, 
made up of the car and an engine. 

The New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad operates cars 
h.iving special equipment, running from the Grand Central Ter- 
minal or the Harlem River Station. 

The charge for the movement of special cars is generally 25 



FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. / 

fares or tickets, with a minimum value of $25.00 This charge is 
for a party of 25 persons, and for each additional person the 
regular fare is charged. 

The New Haven Railroad, in addition to the above rates, 
charges for their " Private Party Cars " moved 75 miles or less,

60 persons, with a minimum revenue of $25.00, in each direction. 

The rates quoted herein are officially given by the railroad 
companies at the present time, but are subject to change at the 
option of the railroad companies. 



METHOD OF COLLECTING VETERAN'S BURIAL 
EXPENSES. 

Allowed by the State for the burial of Soldiers, Sailors, 
Marines, or their Widows. 

This law (see page^^) states that some person must be desig- 
nated as the proper official to administrate this fund, usually 
some officer of the Board of Health of each County. 

In Greater New York at present Mr. J. G. Tate, Room 32 on 



8 FAIRCIIILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 

the 3rd floor in the Department of Health, 55th St. and Gth 
Av., New York City, has the matter in charge. 

In case of the burial of a soldier, sailor or marine, the widow 
must appear before Mr. Tate, or in case of the burial of the 
soldier's widow, providing her marriage was prior to 1890, the 
next of kin must apj^ear in person, together with the undertaker 
and a member of the G. A. R. Post or V. S. W. V., or other 
military organization or a friend who knew the deceased in life. 
Eacli one must make and swear to an affidavit that the deceased 
had insufficient funds to defray the burial expenses and had no 
insurance on his or her life, and present the government's " hon- 
orable discharge" or widow's pension papers, together with a 
transcript of death, with the imdertaker's bill which shall not 
exceed $50. 

These affidavits, transcripts and discharge papers are then 
forwarded by the official in charge to the Comptroller who for- 
wards to the undertaker a cheque, together with the " Discharge 
Papers." 

OWNERSHIP OF CEMETERY LOTS. 

We have been led to the conclusion that few people fully 
understand the priucijiles of owncrsliip in Cemetery Lots. 

Each cemetery gives evidence of ownership, in the form of a 
deed or formal receipt, which deed or receipt constitutes the 
outward evidence of the book records of the particular cemetery. 

The by-laws, rules and regulations contained on their books, 
form part of the contract. The mere possession of a deed or 
receipt from a cemetery does not necessarily constitute owner- 
ship. The real ownershij) of a cemetery lot is governed by tlie 
book records of eacli cemetery. 

It is wise, therefore, that heirs take up at once the new 
owncrsliip of a cemetery lot, upon the death of its former owner. 
Cases have occurred where this matter has been put off so long 
that it became impossible to prove ownership and, therefore, to 
secure the further use of tlie lot. 

In the ease of certain religious cor])orations, the right of 
burial is denied to all wlio do not die believers of, or subscribers 
to tlie jiartieular form of religion or creed endorsed by tlie organ- 
ization which controls the cemetery. This is particularly true 



FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 9 

in the cases of Catholic cemeteries, which are governed and con- 
trolled in each case by the church itself, which under many 
decisions of the court has been held to be the sole judge as to 
the right of burial. 

Cemetery lots are not taxable nor can they be reached by 
creditors for debt under judgment or through court proceedings. 
It is usually true that lots are indivisible, except when the con- 
sent of the owner and the corporation is obtained. 

Another point of misunderstanding is rights of a husband or 
wife in a cemetery lot owned by either. A lot standing in the 
name of the husband, on his death descends first to his children 
or to the husband's brothers and sisters or father and mother, 
never to the wife, nor has the wife any dower right or control 
over the lot, except that she has the right to be buried beside her 
husband. Likewise, a lot purchased in a married woman's name, 
will on her death, go to her children or to her brothers and sisters 
or her father and mother, never to her husband, he having, how- 
ever, right of burial therein. 

It is a very simple matter at any time to place on the books 
of your cemetery, the names of those whose burial you desire in 
your lot. In that manner you will preclude trouble for those who 
have a right to be buried there, and prevent burials that you may 
not wish to have made in your lot. 

OUT OF TOWN UNDERTAKERS. 

Particular attention is called to the fact that you should always 
use a special width casket and box when making interment in 
Holy Cross, Calvary or St. Raymond's Cemetery. 

These groimds were surveyed allowing a certain number of 
inches to a grave and when your box exceeds that special width, 
you encroach on another grave in a plot, which is sometimes im- 
possible, and at all times impossible in the " Single Grave Sec- 
tion." 

In Calvary and Holy Cross Cemeteries, this special width is 
24 inches; in St. Raymond's, 2G inches. 

If your casket is ordered from a wholesale house of Greater 
New York and you specify " Calvary " size you will probably 
save much annoyance and your family the loss of the use of a 
grave. 

An asterisk * opposite each of the above cemeteries calls 
attention to this note.

Casket Progress 



The National Casket Co. has always 
stood for progress — progress for the casket 
maker and progress for the Funeral Director. Its 
long line of achievements includes practically every 
forward step made in the industry during the past 
quarter century. 

National Caskets, because of superior material, 
staunch construction, and appropriate designs, repre- 
sent the best value obtainable. 

To spread the news of the great advance made in 
burial methods and the manufacture of caskets and 
funeral furnishings, is the object of the advertising 
campaign we are conducting in magazines of general 
circulation. Our announcements go into millions of 
American homes. 

Every advertisement bears this statement : 
"We sell onlv through tuneral directors."

This cemetery is not as old as Trinity Churchyard, but its 
history is interwoven with that of Trinity's, for, as is well 
known, St. Paul's Church was built to accommodate Trinity's 
increasing congregation. It was during the year of 17G3 that 
it was decided to erect a new chapel and in 1766 this church was 
opened and at the time was considered the finest church building 
on this continent. 

From the time of the dedication of the Church, records of 
interments are found of the well-known persons of those days, 
although for many years the Trinity Churchyard appears to have 
been the more preferred burial place.

Sexton — W. C. Broughton, at office. 
Interments — Are permitted to lot-owners only and tlie charge 

for opening a grave is $11. Burials are seldom made there, 

as nearly all the plots are filled. 

The establishment of this churchyard dates back to the 
origin of Trinity Church, which was the first authorized Protest- 
ant Church in New York. During tlie month of May. 1007, a 
charter of incorporation was granted to the Church by Lieutenant 
Governor Fletcher. In this charter the first mention of the 
cemetery is found. It reads as follows : " And that said church 
together with the cemetery or church yard thereunto adjoining 
may forever hereafter be dedicated and consecrated to the public 
worship and service of God, according to the Rites and cere- 
monies of the Protestant Church of England." 

It appear tliat at first the regulations regarding tlie use of 
the cemetery were loose and unsatisfactory ; for tlie following 
year (1(508) this record appears: "After the expiration of four 
weeks from tlio date hereof no negroes be buried within the 



FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 163 

bounderies & Limits of the Church yard of Trinity Church, that 
is to say in the rear of the present burying place & that no 
person or negro whatsoever do presume after the term above 
Limited to break up any grounds for the burying of his Negro 
as they will answer at their perill & that this order be forwith 
published." 

From this time on, accounts are found of the burials of 
many of the noted personages of those times, such as Rev. Wil- 
liam Vesey, the first pastor to Trinity Church, Lord Lovelace, 
and many others.

SYNOPSIS OF THE LAWS RELATING 
TO AND GOVERNING BURIALS, 
TRANSPORTATION OF BOD- 
IES, CEMETERIES AND 
DECEDENTS' ESTATES. 

PREFATORY NOTE. 

This article was prepared, and the collation of statutes was made, 
by John Edward Riiston, Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law, 220 
Broadway, Manhattan, New York City, who, as attorney for the National 
Casket Company, certain cemeteries and many prominent imdertakers, 
has become a specialist in matters relating to undertakers, embalmers, 
burials, cemeteries and decedents' estates. 

GENERAL STATEMENT. 

The proiDcr burial of the human body is a common-law right. 
The immediate duty of burial devolves upon the husband, wife 
or next of kin of the deceased, or upon the person in whose house 
death may occur. The right of selecting the burial place, or of 
determining upon the final disposition of tlie body, rests in the 
husband, wife, or next of kin of the deceased. The courts 
ordinarily will not interfere with the determination of such per- 
sons in this particular. It has been held that the deceased him- 
self may by his will determine upon and provide for the dis- 
position of his remains. 

Every person is entitled to a funeral in accordance with his 
station in life. The expenses of a funeral, and of the burial 
or disposition of a body, may be a matter of contract, but when 
not determined by contract, the undertaker is entitled to be paid 
a " reasonable " charge based upon the decedent's rank and 
station in life, although it may afterwards appear that the estate 
of the decedent is insolvent. It is a recognized rule that an 
executor before the grant of letters, may pay funeral charges, 
and even dispose of property, so to do, and must bury the 
decedent in accordance with his station in life, and the amount 

181 



182 FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 

Laica — Otncrul Statctmnt. 

of the estate left behind him. Whoever pays such charges is 
entitled to reimbursement out of the funds of the estate, as 
the estate is ultimately liable for the reasonable expenses of 
burial. In most states these charges become eitlier a preferred 
debt of the estate, or are considered and paid as administration 
charges. Generally speaking all matters incident to a proper 
burial are embraced in the funeral charges. In some states the 
expenses of the last illness are included. The copy of the verdict 
of a coroner's jury, mourning for the family of the decedent, 
and a moderate tombstone, have variously been held to be proper 
charges, where the estate was solvent. 

Since the earliest times the bodies of deceased persons have 
brrn disposed of either by cremation or by burial. The ancients 
buried their dead in elaborate tombs and sepulehers. The early 
Christians buried their dead in catacombs. With the establish- 
ment of the Christian Church it became a custom to bury tlie 
(had in the land surrounding the various churches. 

The modern cemetery is a matter of evolution. Cemeteries 
were first established by the eastern nations. They are known 
to have existed from time immemorial. The most ])ieturesque 
are to be found in Turkey, in the neighborhood of Constantinople, 
where they comprise vast tracts of cypress woods. The first 
western nation to set aside a cemetery of the modern type was 
France, which, about ISOi, established the famous cemetery 
known as Pere la Chaise, located in Paris. 

The cemetery of to-day has been held to be a public place. 
It may be created by the dedication of land for the burial of 
the dead, and by distinguishing it as such from the adjoining 
land. When a cemetery is so established it is usually free 
from taxation. 

There are several kinds of cemeteries, to wit : jirivate or family 
cemeteries, municipal cemeteries and corporate cemeteries. In 
the early colonial times, and even in later years in the rural dis- 
tricts, it was customary for each family to have its own ceme- 
tery, or for families to club together and set a]>art certain land 
to be used in common for the burial of the dead. The estab- 
lishment of cemeteries by the act of a municipal government is 
common in some localities. Cemeteries, however, are more com- 
monly to be found as established and maintained by corporations, 
either ns a mutual semi-eleemosynary institution or as a purely 
business enterprise. 



FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 183 

Laws — Ocneral Statement. 
The matter of burials is governed by the individual laws of the 
several States^ and as the cemeteries set forth in this volume are 
located in the States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and 
Massachusetts, the various laws of these States are hereinafter 
separately considered. 

DECEDENTS' ESTATES. 

The distribution of the estates of deceased persons is always 
governed by will, if there is one. If, however, the deceased 
dies intestate, the matter of distribution is governed by the law 
of the state in which the deceased resided or left property. 

A will in order to be valid must be executed in accordance with 
the law of the state in which it is made. The laws of the indi- 
vidual states vary but little on this subject. In almost all states 
the following requisites must be observed. The will must be in 
writing. The person making the same must sign his name at the 
end thereof. The will must be signed and acknowledged in the 
presence of at least two disinterested persons, who must sign 
as witnesses at the request and in the presence of the testator 
and in the presence of each other, and the testator must, at the 
time of such signature, declare the document to his last will and 
testament. 

The respective laws of the individual states vary to such an 
extent with respect to the administration of estates of persons 
dying intestate, that it is impossible in an article of this nature 
to enter into an extended discussion of same. For the purpose 
of indicating in a very general way the statutory provisions ex- 
isting in the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and 
Massachusetts, the author has tabulated the individual laws of 
the said states so as to indicate: (1) Who are entitled to a 
preference in administration. (2) When an accounting must 
be made by an administrator or executor. (3) The amount of 
the transfer or inheritance tax to be paid by the various persons 
entitled to distribution. (4) What debts and obligations are 
preferred. (5) Who are entitled to distribution of an intestate's 
estate.

Laws. 

RAILROADS. 

Each railroad has its own special rules relating to the trans- 
portation of corpses. These rules in each case are governed by 
the municipal and State laws of the locality from which ship- 
ment is made and through which transportation is desired. By 
reference to the laws and rules stated hereinbefore an idea may 
be obtained of the requirements of each of the four States in 
which the cemeteries referred to in this volume are located. 

In general^ however, it is required by all railroads that the 
cost of transportation is the price of one first-class ticket on 
which is printed the word " corpse," or a minimum charge of one 
dollar. Each corpse must be accompanied by a person in charge; 
certificates of the proper authorities must be attached to the box 
or casket in which shipment is made, or must be presented by the 
person in charge when required; it is usual in most instances that 
the corpse must be enclosed in a hermetically sealed casket, espe- 
cially when death was caused by contagious or infectious disease. 
Disinterred bodies are usually considered to be in the class of 
those dead of contagious or infectious disease. 

Upon inquiry at the office of the railroad over which trans- 
portation is desired, all necessary information regarding trans- 
portation is easily obtainable. 

FORM OF BEQUEST FOR THE PERPETUAL CARE OF 
A CEMETERY LOT. 

I hereby give (devise), and bequeath vmto , a cor- 
poration organized and existing under and pursuant to the laws

or renewal of any tomb, monument, fence or other structure, and

in and around the lot (describing it) in the cemetery grounds 
of the said corporation, situate in the (state locality of cemetery) , 
and to apply the surplus thereof, if any, in and to the improve- 
ment and embellishment of said lot.

NEW YORK LAWS. 

EMBALMERS, UNDERTAKERS, BURIALS AND TRANSPORTA- 
TION OF THE DEAD. 

The Commissioner of Health shall take cognizance of the in- 
terest of the health and life of the people of tlie State, and of all 
matters pertaining thereto (Pub. Health L., § 4). He shall be 
the head of the Department of Health (Pub. Health L., §§ 2, 4). 

There shall be in the Dejiartnunt of Health a Bureau of Vital 
Statistics for the registration, among other matters, of deaths 
(Pub. Health L., § 5). 

The Commissioner of Healtli shall prescribe and prepare the 
necessary methods, forms and rules regulating the issue of trans- 
fer permits by local boards of health for the transportation of 
corjjses for burial outside of the countv wherein the death oc- 
curred (Pub. Health L.. § 5). 

There shall be loc;il boards of healtli and health officers in 
the various cities, villages and towns of the State (Pub. Health 
L., § 20). 

Every such local board of health shall make and publish from 
time to time all such orders and regulations as they may deem 
necessary and proper (Pub. Health L., § 21). 

Every such local board shall make and keep a complete regis- 
tration of deaths. Every physician in last attendance upon any 
person who may die, shall certify the probable cause of death 
and file such certificate with the local registrar of vital statistics 
within twentv-four hours after tiie death occurs (Pub. Health 
L., § 22). 

Every local board shall prescribe sanitary regulations for the 
burial and removal of corpses, and shall designate the jjroper 
officer to grant permits for such burial, and jjermits for the trans- 
j)ortation of any corj)ses outside of the county. The undertaker 
having cliarge of the corpse shall procure a burial permit from 
the local officer, with whom the certificate of death has been filed, 
and there shall be no burial or removal of a corjise until a per- 
mit has been obtained. When death occurs by reason of a con- 
tagious or infectious disease the corpse must be enclosed in a 
hermetically sealed casket of metal, or other indestructible ma- 
terial before the same may be transported over any railroad or

'New York Laws. 
upon any passenger steamboat within the State (Pub. Health 
L., § 23). 

There shall be a Board of Embalming Examiners of the State 
of New York, composed of five persons, who shall ascertain what 
constitutes the best test for determining whether life is extinct 
and shall prescribe the use of such test before embalming, as 
they may deem necessary. Said board shall from time to time 
make and adopt rules, regulations and by-laws not inconsistent 
with law, governing the practice of embalming (Pub. Health L., 
§§ 290-291). 

Every person desiring to engage in the practice of embalming 
shall make written application to said board for an embalmer's 
license. Same shall be accompanied by an application fee of 
$5, and a certificate of some reputable person that the applicant 
is more than twenty-one years of age, is of good moral character 
and has obtained a common school education (Pub. Health L., 
§§ 292, 293). An examination of the applicant must follow, 
and if in the judgment of the board the applicant is duly quali- 
fied to practice embalming of human dead bodies, a license so 
to do shall be issued upon payment of a fee of $10. The fact 
of the issuance of said license shall be registered at the office of 
the local board of health, and said license shall be displayed in 
a conspicuous place in the office of said licensee (Pub. Health 
L., §§ 293-294). 

No person shall engage in the undertaking business unless 
he shall be a duly licensed embalmer and shall have been em- 
ployed as an assistant to a licensed undertaker continously for a 
period of at least three years (Pub. Health L., §§295, 298). 

In a very recent, and as yet unreported, decision the Court of 
Appeals holds the aforesaid three-year provision to be uncon- 
stitutional, and the law will doubtless be amended in this par- 
ticular (People V. Ringe). 

Undertaker's licenses shall be issued by the said board upon 
payment of a registration fee of two dollars (Pub. Health L., 
§295). 

Each member of an undertaking firm or manager of each place 
of business conducted by a corporation shall be a licensed under- 
taker (Pub. Health L.,'§295). 

Such license shall be displayed in a conspicuous place in the 
office of the undertaker (Pub. Health L., § 295).

Xcie York Lairs. 

A duly licensed eiDhalmcr actually engaged in his profession 
as a means of livelihood is entitled to exemption from service 
as a trial juror upon claiming his exemption therefrom (Jud. 
Law, §§ 5 to, (535 and 7:20), 

Any person having a claim for funeral expenses of a decedent 
may apply for the issuance of letters of administration (C. C. P., 
§ 2GG2). ' 

Every executor or administrator shall pay out of the first 
moneys received the reasonable funeral expenses of the decedent, 
and the sarae shall be preferred to all debts and claims against 
tlie decedent's estate (C. C. P., § 2729). 

It has been held that funeral expenses are not to be treated 
as a debt, but as a charge against the estate of a decedent, being 
in the nature of an administration charge and entitled to a prefer- 
ence as sucli (Paterson r. Paterson, 5'J X. Y. 574). 

The reasonableness of a funeral charge is governed by the 
station in life of the decedent and the amount of his estate. 
Tlie general expenses incident to death are considered as part 
of the funeral charges. (The following court decisions bear 
on tliis ])roj)osition : Paterson r. Paterson ;")'.» N. Y. 574; Wood 
V. \'an(ltrburgh (> Paige 277; Ferrin r. Myrick 41 N. Y. .'515;

Allen r. Allen li Dem. 524; Matter of StadtmuUer 110 A. D. 70.) 

An executor named in a will has the power to pay the rea- 
sonable funeral charges of a deceased before issuance of letters 
testamentary (C. C. P., § 2(;13). 

^^llerc the county treasurer acts as administrator, he is au- 
thorized to ])ay funeral charges before the issuance of letters of 
administration (C. C. P., § 2(500). 

The surrogate may, by order, direct a temporary administrator 
to pay funeral expenses (C. C. P., § 2072). 

If the undertaker is not paid within sixty days after date of 
death, he may apj)ly to the surrogate by petition for the pay- 
ment of fuiu-ral charges. The surrogate then jiasses upon the 
\ali(lity and reasonableness of the claim and may make an order 
(lini-ting the jiayment thereof (C. C. P., ^ 2729). 

If it shall aj)j)ear that no money has come into tlie hands of 
the executor or administrator such proceeding must be dismissed 
without costs and without prejudice to a further application

Ncio York Laios. 
showing that since such dismissal the estate has received funds 
(C. C. P., § 2729). 

The real property of which a decedent dies seized may be 
disposed of upon application to the Court for the payment of 
funeral expenses (C. C. P., § 2749). 

An executor or administrator of a decedent may maintain an 
action to recover damages for a wrongful act, neglect or default 
by which the decedent's death was caused and the damages re- 
covered, if any, are exclusively for the benefit of the decedent's 
husband, wife or next of kin, and must be distributed as pro- 
vided by law, but the plaintiff may deduct therefrom the rea- 
sonable funeral expenses of the decedent (C. C. P., §§ 1902, 
1903). 

The body of an honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine, 
wlio has seen service, or the body of the wife or widow of such, 
who shall have died without leaving sufficient estate for funeral 
expenses, shall be buried at the expense of the county, same not 
to exceed $50. (Poor Law, Sect. 4.) 

The grave of such deceased shall be marked by a headstone, 
containing his name, and if possible, the organization to which 
he belonged, same to cost not more than $15, same to be a charge 
upon the county. (Poor Law, Sect. 85.)

tion of the time and places of the four succeeding examinations after 
the date of the permit. 

5. Applicants who pass the examination will be allowed until the first 
day of the second succeeding month, after notice of the result of each 
examination, to qualify as embalmers by the pa3aiient of the examining 
and licensing fee of ten dollars. After that date the examination shall 
be considered void, except by the direction of the board, which may 
dispense with this rule for good reasons on the part of the applicant 
for failure to comply with this rule. 

6. Applicants for examination who are not residents of the State 
of New York are required to deposit with the secretary of the board 
the examining and licensing fee of ten dollars at the time they file 
their applications and paj^ their application fee of five dollars. If any 
such applicant should fail to pass the examination, the deposit of ten 
dollars shall be returned to such applicant who fails, at the time he is 
notified of the result of his examination, and such applicants who pass 
the examination shall be registered as licensed embalmers. 

7. Samples of embalming fluid or comjiound submitted to the Board 
of Embalming Examiners for analysis and bacteriological test and 
certification must be received in a sealed bottle bearing the name of 
the fluid and the manufacturer. One gallon of bulk fluid or a quantity 
of concentrated fluid or embalming compound sufficient, as ordinarily 
used, to make one gallon of fluid must be submitted. Upon receipt 
of the package of fluid, a number will be assigned to it by the secre- 
tary of the board by Mhich the fluid will always and only be known 
by the chemist and the bacteriologist. The name of the fluid or com- 
poimd so designated by number shall be held in absolute confidence by 
such secretary until the rejDorts of the chemist and bacteriologist have 
been made to the board at a meeting upon which action is taken on 
such reports. After having been assigned the number, the seal of the 
original package will be broken and one quart of the fluid, under the 
number so assigned, given to the chemist and one quart, under number, 
to the bacteriologist, in packages sealed by the secretary of the board. 
Immediately thereafter the original package will again be sealed by 
the secretary and preserved for future comparisons. All fees received 
for the examinaion and certification of embalming fluids shall be kept 
in a special fund to be known as the " Embalming Fluid Fund." Such 
fund shall be used only for the purjjose of paying proper expenses 
incurred therewith and for no other purpose except chemical analysis 
and bacteriological tests of embalming fluids.

REGULATIONS. 

1. The transportation ro^rulations of the State Department of Health 
and all rules or regulations of the several departments or hoards of 
health in the State of Xew York pertaining to the preparation or burial 
of bodies dying of contagious or infectious diseases, sliall l)e considered 
a rule of the Hoard of Embalming Examiners and the violation of any 
such rule or regulation may be considered sufficient reason for the 
revocation of an cmi)almer's license. 

2. No body of an infant dying of contagious or infectious disease 
shall be carried in a coach or other conveyance used by the public. 
.Ml such bodies should be conveyed in a hearse or undertaker's wagon. 
L'nless the body is properly eml)almed and disinfected, the hearse or 
covered undertaker wagon shall be immediately disinfected. 

3. When called to care for a i)ody dying of small-pox, Asiatic cholera, 
yellow fever, typhus fever, bubonic plague, diphtheria (membranous 
croup), scarlet fever (scarlatina, scarlet rash), the embalmcr shall wear 
an embalmer's suit of some smooth material drawn tight at neck, wrist 
and ankles and tight covering for his hair and ])ut on the same before 
entering the aj)artnients where such l)ody lies, and remove it immediately 
upon leaving such apartments, and tiic eml>almer's suit shall be imme- 
diately disinfected. The emlialmer shall disinfect his hands and face 
immediately by washing in some good disinfectant, and also immerse 
his instruments in such disinfectant. 

4. All paraphernalia used at funerals of contagious or infectious dis- 
eases shall be inuiiediatcly fumigated unless premises have been disin- 
fected before they were used. 

5. All funerals of bodies dying of contagious or infectious diseases, 
except typhoid fever, puerperal fever, erysipelas or tuberculosis, are to 
be strictly private except that the body has been arterially embalmed 
and j)remises disinfected and permission obtained from the health 
authorities to be otherwise. 

(i. No fluid shall be injected into any bimian dead body by any 
emlialmer unless he is sure that the person died of natural causes or that 
he has obtained permission from the attending j)hysician. 

7. No fluid shall be injected into any hinnan dead body until the 
embalmer shall have applied at least Ave of the following tests of death: 

I. Tie a piece of string or place a small elastic band around the finger. 
If life is i)resent the end of the finger becomes a livid color, but no 
change occurs after death. This test may also be applied, by tying 
a cord firmly around the wrist and noticing the veins on the back of the 
hands; these gradually fill up witli blood if life is present; if life 
is extinct, no change occurs. If this test is apjilied in this way the 
front of the wrist should be protected by a small piece of board or 
pasteboard to prevent pressure on the arteries which would shut off 
all blood supply. 

II. Hold a cold mirror before the nostrils and mouth and notice if 
a moisture ajipears on the mirror. 

III. IMace a small light piece of cotton or wool or a small feather 
over the li])s and notice if there is t.ic slightest sign of breatliing. 



FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 195 

'New York Laics. 

IV. Look for rigor-mortis and discolorations in the dependent parts 
of the body. If the limbs are stiifened, bending them in true rigor- 
mortis does away with the stiffness, and discoloration may be made 
to disappear by changing the position of the body. 

V. Examine the eye and see if it is flaccid. Flash a bright light in 
the eye and notice if the pupil contracts under the light and dilates 
when the light is removed. The eye should be kept dark for a moment 
before making the test. If the eye is not sensitive to light, life is 
extinct. In death the clear portion in the front of the eye (the cornea) 
becomes cloudy or milky and the eyeball flattened, and feels soft instead 
of firm and the white of the eye becomes brownish in color. 

VI. Touch the skin lightly with black hot iron or lighted match or 
candle and ol)serve if a blister containing water forms, and if the usual 
pinkish hue appears around the part burned. They do not appear when 
life is extinct. 

VII. Place a saucer of quicksilver or water over the pit of the 
stomach, so as not to touch the ribs, and observe if there be any agita- 
tion of the surface which would indicate a pulsation of the heart or 
a respiratory movement. 

VIII. Prick with a needle and observe whether the subject is sensi- 
tive to pain. 

CORONER CASES. 

8. No fluid shall be injected into any body dying suddenly, or from 
unnatural causes, unless that the consent of the coroner, medical 
examiner or attending physician has been obtained, and arterial work 
shall be done in such cases. 

9. From and after October 1, 1907, no embalmer shall inject into 
any dead human body, for the jiurpose of preserving, disinfecting or 
embalming the same, any fluid that is not a thorough germicide in 
the proportions ordinarily used in embalming, that is eight parts of 
fluid to one hundred and fifty parts of body weight, or that contains 
arsenic, zinc, mercury, copper, lead, silver, antimony or chloral or any 
substance or compound that contains either or any of them, or any 
poisonous alkaloid. Except that nothing in this regulation shall apply 
to the use of the above named substances in any duly incorporated medi- 
cal college or scientific institution by those having in their legal posses- 
sion human cadavers intended to be used for the purpose of medical 
study or other legitimate purposes. 

10. From and after October 1, 1907, no jjerson, firm or corporation 
shall sell or offer for sale in the State of New York, any embalming 
fluid (concentrated or bulk) or embalming compound which is not a 
thorough germicide, in the proportions ordinarily used in embalming, 
that is eight parts of fluid to one hundred and fifty parts of body 
weight, or that contains arsenic, zinc, mercury, copper, lead, silver, 
antimony or chloral or any substance or compound that contains any 
or either of them, or any poisonous alkaloid.

of Knibahninp Examiners of tlie State of New York that an embalming 
fluid or compound is a thorough germicide in the proj)ortioiis men- 
tioned in regulations nos. 9 and 10 and contains none of the chemicals 
prohibited in regulations nos. 9 and 10 of tliese regulations, any person, 
firm or corporation manufacturing enibalniing fluid or compound may 
submit to the said board a sample of his or its product under the name 
l)y which it is known; and shall lie known; to be tested and to be 
chemically analyzed. The Board of ?',mbalming Examiners shall, upon 
such sui)mission, have made a test of such fluid or comjtound to de- 
termine its germicidal (jualitics and a chemical analysis and upon finding 
that the cml)alming fluid or compound meets the requirements of regu- 
lations nos. 9 and 10, shall issue a certificate to such person, firm or 
corporation that the said embalming fluid or compound is approved 
for the preserving, disinfecting and embalming of dead human bodies 
in the State of New York. Persons, firms or corporations making 
a])|)lication for such a certificate shall pay one hundred dollars ($100) 
to cover the cost of making the bacteriological tests and chemical 
analysis.

proval of any embalming fluid or compound, it shall be found by a 
bacteriological test, that the fluid or compound is not up to the 
standard of the original test, upon whicii the certificate was issued 
or ujion a chemical analysis, it shall be found that the fluid or com- 
pound contains chemicals prohibited in regulations nos. 9 and 10, the 
IJoard of Embalming Examiners shall revoke such certificate of approval.

which the corj)se is consigned has first been obtained; and if the deatli 
was from causes s])ecified in Rule 1 the approval of the State Com- 
missioner of Health must likewise be ol)tained. All such disinterred 
renuiins shall be enclosed in a hermetically sealed zinc, tin or copjier 
lined coffin or box or hermetically sealed metal case. Bodies deposited 
in receiving vaults shall not be treated and considered the same as

positeil in receiving vaults will be treated the same as buried bodies. 

Rule S. The term " ajiproved embalming fluid " as used in these 
rules means iin embalming fluid that has been submitted to a bacterio- 
logical test and ai)i)rove(l by the Boaril of I'.mbalming l-',xaminers of 
the State of New York. .V o ])er cent, solution of carbolic acid, a 1/500 
solution of corrosive sul)limate or 14 per cj'iit. of a 10 per cent, solu- 
tion of formaldehyde are approved as disinfectants for external wash- 
ing of bodies when re(juired by these rules. Other prepared disinfectants 
of equal germicitlal action may also be used. 

To Trnnsptirtatinn Aijents Concerned: 

\o\\ will in no case receive a C(»r]ise for transportation unless accom- 
jianied by a board of health certificate, also an undertaker's certificate 
that the body has been jirepared for lniri.il and shijiment in accordance 
with tlie rules of tlie State J)ciiartment of Health, nor will you receive 
it even irith such cerdficafes if fluids (tre escaping from the case or it

out regard to the age of the deceased, and a corpse will not be taken for 
transportation except there is a passenger with it in charge. The word 
" Corpse " should be plainly written on the face of a local and each 
coupon of a coupon ticket. A record must be made of all bodies 
shipped and carried, on the back of your station and trip reports, giv- 
ing name of deceased, and destination. 

It will be the duty of agents and baggage agents to see that each 
burial case is properly marked on " paster," giving date and at what 
station shipped, point of destination, " state," number and form of ticket, 
name of passenger in charge and place of residence, with name of agent. 
If the corpse is destined to a point beyond the initial line, the initials 
of each road over which it passes must be written on the paster; also 
the terminal point of each road at which transfer is made with con- 
necting line, as shown on the couiDons of the ticket. 

You will see that the " Certificate of Undertaker " is properly filled 
out by him, and the paster is properly filled out by yourself and it 
securely jjasted to the coffin box before it is put into the car, and the 
permit remaining you will hand to the passenger in charge of the corpse. 

All this information is necessary to insure the prompt and correct 
transportation of the coi'pse. 

CEMETERIES. 

Cemeteries may be organized under the general laws of the 
State, or may be incorporated under a special law, when in the 
judgment of the legislature, the objects of the corporation can 
not be attained under the general laws (Const. N. Y., Art. 8, § 1). 

Cemeteries are usually incorporated under the Membership 
Corporation Law, Article IV. This statute provides the manner 
of incorporation, organization and management, and governs the 
rights, duties and obligations of the corporation, its members and 
lot owners. 

Cemetery lands may be acquired by eminent domain, purchase, 
gift and dedication. 

The rights and privileges of members and lot owners are fixed 
and determined by the statutory law, and by the rules and regu- 
lations of the corporation. As a general proposition a plot can 
not be transferred after an interment has been made therein. 

The real estate of a corporation organized exclusively for 
cemetery purposes is exempt from taxation, unless organized for 
profit, or its officers receive profit therefrom beyond a reasonable 
compensation for their services (Tax Law, § 4, Subd. 7).

walks, fences, monuments, structures and tombs therein are per- 
mitted, and shall be deemed to be for charitable and benevolent 
uses, and shall not be deemed invalid by reason of any indefinite- 
ness or uncertainty of the persons designated as beneficiaries, 
nor shall they be deemed invalid as violating any existing law 
against perjjetuities or the suspension of the power of aliena- 
tion (Personal Prop. Law, § \Sa\ Real Prop. Law, § 114a).

NEW JERSEY LAWS. 

EMBALMERS, UNDERTAKERS, BURIALS AND TRANSPORTA- 
TION OF THE DEAD. 

The Board of Health of the State of New Jersey takes cog- 
nizance of all matters eifecting the life and health of citizens 
(Gen. Stat. Health, §§ 1, 2). 

Said board also constitutes the State Bureau of Vital Statistics, 
which among other things registers deaths occurring in the State 
(Gen. Stat. Health, § 2). 

There are also local boards in all municipal divisions of the 
State (Gen. Stat. Health, §§9, 10). 

Local boards have the power to adopt ordinances (Gen. Stat. 
Health, § 16). 

Such boards also may prescribe the penalty of the violation 
thereof (Gen. Stat. Health, § 18). 

Such boards have the power to specify when no public funeral 
shall be had, because of death from certain diseases, and a viola- 
tion of such regulations may be punished by a fine not to exceed 
$50 (Gen. Stat. Health, § 25). 

Such boards also have the power to regulate the burial and 
interment of human bodies (Gen. Stat. Health, § 29). 

It is not lawful for any sexton or undertaker to act as deputy 
registrar of vital statistics, nor to issue permits for the burial 
of the dead (Gen. Stat. Health, § 99). 

County boards of health may adopt rules or by-laws and 
ordinances to compel the registration of deaths (Gen. Stat. 
Health, §§ 101-103). 

A Board of Undertakers and Embalmers of the State of New 
Jersey was created in 1906 (Ch. 219, L. 1906, § 1), and the 
practice of embalming and undertaking is governed by said 
statute and those amendatory therof and supplemental thereto. 
This board has the power from time to time to adopt and approve 
rules, regulations and by-laws (Ch. 219, L. 1906, § 3).* 

* Although application was made, it was impossible to obtain a copy 
of the rules and by-laws of said board.

New Jersey Laws. 

All applicants for licenses as undertakers and embalmers are 
required to pass uniform examinations upon questions pertaining 
to embalming,, the disposition of the human bodies and shipment 
of bodies of persons dying of contagious or infectious diseases, 
or any cause whatsoever, in accordance with the rules of the 
State Board of Health, and upon such other subjects as the 
board may deem proper (Ch. 219, L. 190G, § 3). 

No person shall engage in the undertaking or embalming 
business without a license (Ch. 219, L. 1906, § 10). 

In order to obtain a license all applicants must pass an ex- 
amination held by the State Board and must file an application 
accompanied by $5, and the certificate of three persons that the 
applicant is twenty-one years of age, is of good moral character, 
has had a grammar-school education, and has served two years' 
apprenticeship with a reputable funeral director (Ch. 219, L. 
1906, § 4, 5). 

The license when issued must be recorded by the State Board, 
and must be registered with the local board of health, and dis- 
played in a conspicuous place in the office or place of business 
of the licensee (Ch. 219, L. 1906, § 6). 

The said board has the power of revocation of licenses upon 
the conviction of the licensee of certain offenses and for the 
violation of the provisions of this act, or of the rules and regu- 
lations of the State Board (Ch. 219, L. 1906, §§ 7, 10, 11) and 
the offenses mentioned in said § 11 are punishable by a fine of 
$100. 

The license issued by the State Board is not assignable, and 
only one person may conduct business thereunder, except in the 
case of representatives of a deceased licensee who are continuing 
the business (Ch. 219, L. 1906, § 8). 

The transportation of the dead is governed by Ch. 156 of the 
laws of 1900. 

It is not lawful for any undertaker or other person to convey 
or aid in the conveyance to any railroad or common carrier, to 
be transported across or within the State, nor is it lawful for any 
common carrier to accept for transit, or to transport across, or 
within the State, any human body dead of certain specified con- 
tagious or infectious diseases, unless the same is enclosed in a 
hermetically sealed casket, and unless a license of such trans- 
portation be obtained from the Board of Health of the State,

and a violation of this statute is punishable by a fine of $100 

(Ch. 1j<;, Laws of I'.tOO, § 1). 

When it is desired to transport by common carrier across or 
within the State the body of a deceased person, duplicate certifi- 
cates of death must be obtained from the physician in last attend- 
ance, or some other physician of good standing, which certificates 
must set forth the name of the deceased, the names and place of 
birth of his or her parents, the age, sex, color, nativity and 
occujjation of deceased, whether married, or unmarried, widower 
or widow, last place of residence, duration of residence in New 
Jersey, place of, cause, date and hour of death, and place of 
interment. Duplicate certificates must also be obtained from 
the undertaker, stating that the body of said deceased has been 
prepared by him for transit, as required by law, and shall con- 
tain an application for a permit to remove such body stating 
place from and to which it is desired to convey the same, and 
the name of the person to accompany the body in transit. The 
giving of a false certificate is i)unishable by a fine of $100 (Ch. 
I '){•>, Laws of li»0(), § 2). 

Upon filing with the local Registrar of Vital Statistics, one 
of each of said certificates, said registrar shall issue a transit 
permit (Ch. ];">•;, Laws of 1!)00, §3). 

\\'lien it is desired to transport by common carrier, from a 
I)oint without, to a point within or across tlie State, a body of a 
jierson who shall have died outside of the State, the undertaker 
or j)erson attending said body in transit or shipping same, shall 
att.ieh to the outside of the casket, a certificate of death made 
by the physician, who attended the deceased during the last 
illness. If such certificate is not so attached as aforesaid, it 
shall l>e lawful for a common carrier to refuse transportation. 
If it be inconvenient to obtain such ])hysician's certificate, then 
any member of a local board of health may, after inquiry, make 
such certificate. If there be no undertaker's certificate accom- 
panying such body, and it be inconvenient to <»btain same, one of 
the members of such board after a satisfactory examination 
may in a case jirovided for in § 1, grant a transit certificate (Ch. 
1. ■)('!. Laws of moo, § 4).

Your Shipping Instructions 

Will be attended to ^without delay if you are a 
member of the Guaranteed UNDERTAKERS' 
CO-OPERATIVE SYNDICATE (Incorporated) 



The credit of every member of this organi- 
zation is guaranteed by the Syndicate, so that 
whenever a member asks a brother Funeral 
Director to attend to transfer work for him 
there will be no delay in making advance pay- 
ments, looking up references or establishing 
credit, thus saving time and eliminating worry. 
If a member is delinquent in his payment for 
exchange business, the Ciuaranteed Under- 
takers' Co-Operative Syndicate, after receiving 
due notice of his default, will in thirty days pay 
all adjusted claims in full, provided such claims 
do not exceed ^(300 in any single case. The 
organization is incorporated under the laws of 
Wisconsin, its capital is fio,ooo, and it is 
bonded for twice that sum, making a solid 
financial wall to support its claims and guar- 
antees to the subscriber. 



The names of members are printed monthly 
in a Journal which is distributed to 20,000 
undertakers throughout the United ^tates and 
Canada, all of which tends to concentrate with 
each member desirable shipping business from or 
to his locality. In addition to guaranteeing his 
credit and giving him national publicity twelve 
times a year, each member is also entitled to 
price lists from other members, showing in ad- 
vance just what their transfer work will cost ; 
and a telegraph code for minimizing the cost of 
transfer messages. This code book alone will 
in a short time save enough in telegraph tolls 
to more than pay the cost of membership. The 
book is not for sale but is the properly of the 
Syndicate, and is loaned to subscribers for use 
during the life of their membership.

Nature's Own Method 



By H. S. ECKELS 



NA IT'RF. never makes a mistake. Her laws 
are absolute and their workings inexor- 
able. Omniscience has provided against 
all contingencies and whatever of progress man 
has made has been by applying, and not 
altering, these eternally fixed laws. The 
more nearly, therefore, we have been able to 
approach Nature's methods, the more abso- 
lutely scientific our work has been. Until very 
recent times men believed that Nature and 
Science were at variance, but this feeling was 
born only of our lack of perception or conception 
of Nature's processes. The first step that the 
funeral director took towards placing his profes- 
sion upon a scientific basis was when he realized 
that arterial embalming was the best, and I 
may say the only, method of permanently pre- 
serving the dead human body. When he began 
to realize that the embalming fiiiids after death, 
to secure proper distribution, must follow ab- 
solutely the course taken by the blood while 
life existed, the first step was taken. He was 
at least appro.iching Nature's own methods, 
and since Nature's way must be the best, the 
nearer he got to it the greater was the certainty 
of his success. 

.Arterial embalming, like most other scientific 
processess, has passed through a number of 
successively improving eras. One by one, the 
arteries have been picked up and their capa- 
bilities tested. 1 have done much of this re- 
search work myself, and in the thousands of 
bodies that have passed under my hands have 
met almost every possible conceivable obstacle 
that an undertaker would encounter. 

The net result of this experience has been 
that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred I 
now am using the axillary artery in preference 
to the carotid, the brachial, the radial, the 
iliac, or the femoral. With instniments de- 
signed for the purpose I have found that 
through the axillary artery it is possible to in- 
ject the fluid directly into the arch of the aorta, 
the beginning of the systemic circulation in life, 
thus absolutely taking Nature's own method. 
At the same time I drain blood by way of the 
axillary vein, which is picked up through the 
same incision, directly from the superior vena 
cava, the great blood reservoir of the upper 
portions of the body and the receptacle into 
which Nature empties all of the veins which 
Ic.td from those portions of the body which it is 
desirable to beautify for funeral purposes, i. e.. 
the face and the hands. 

The superiority of the axillary over the 
brachial and the other arteries empfoye<l before 
the discovery of the axillary method are many. 
.Among them may be enumerated the fact that 
but one incision is nccessikry to secure a vein 



as well as a sufficiently large artery and that 
in the most obscure portion of the body, lioth 
the veins and the artery lie very near the sur- 
face and are easily accessible and readily 
located. The operation is cleanly, modest and 
free, so far as 1 can discover, from every ob- 
jection which has been effectively urged against 
cither the carotid, the femoral or the iliac 
arteries. 

.Another advantage of the axillary method is 
that since practically all embalming fluids give 
rigidity to the body, if any other method is 
used the director is apt to experience very 
great difficulty in properly posing the body in 
the ."casket. Where suitable instruments are 
used in the axillary artery, it is easy to fold the 
arms exactly in the position they should occupy 
and to have them remain in place while the 
fluid is being injected and the blood drained. 
The construction of the implements not only 
permits, but even facilitates this. I'he use of 
the trocar to stab the heart is a relic of by-gone 
times and should not be resorted to by any 
cmbalmer who wishes to be considered scien- 
tific. It makes re-injection of the fluid excep- 
tionally difficult, if not absolutely impossible, 
and besides isapt to have a very horrifying effect 
upon any member of the family who may insist 
upon being present during the operation of 
embalming. Vou need never lock a member of 
the family out of the room when the axillary 
method is used. 

The instruments used in the Eckels-Genung 
Axillary Method consist of a set of three 
blood-tfraining tubes, one for children and two 
for adults, together with plungers fitted with 
hard rubber cut-off and rubber tubing, also a 
set of improved .irterial tubes with hard rubber 
cut-offs. Full instnictions for practicing the 
Eckels-fienung Axillary Method are given in 
a valuable book edited jointly by Charles A. 
(jenung. former President of the New York 
State KmlKjlmers Association, .ind myself. 
The book consists of 250 pages, morocco bound 
and profusely illustrated. The price of the 
instruments is #7.50 a set ; the price of the 
book is $_\.^o. A special reduced price has 
l<een made f<ir the book and instruments com- 
bined of f 10.00. 

On receipt of request from any responsible 
undertaker who will address me at 1933 .Arch 
Street. Philadelphia, I will be glad to send a 
set ol the instniments. together with the book. 
The method is to l>c studied and the instru- 
ments used on three or four bo<lics. If they 
then are satisfactory, the money can be re- 
mitted. Otherwise they can be returned, and 
I will pay all express charges both ways. 



ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN CEME- 
TERY SUPERINTENDENTS. 

In 1886, a few well-known cemetery superintendents, led by 
the late Charles Nichols, conceived the idea of forming an Asso- 
ciation of American Cemetery Superintendents, on broad enough 
lines so that all cemetery officials would be eligible and have 
equal rights and privileges in building up an organization that 
would be educational, as well as to better the condition of ceme- 
teries, both in management and appearance. 

After considerable corresponding, about twenty-five men repre- 
senting the leading cemeteries, met at Cincinatti, Ohio, in Oc- 
tober, 1887. At this meeting the Association was organized 
and the present constitution and by-laws were adopted. 

Since then with the view of attaining its beneficial purposes, 
annual meetings are held affording an opportunity of discussing 
the best cemetery methods, and records of these deliberations 
are sent to all interested in cemeteries, throughout the country. 

During the twenty-one years of its organization, the Associa- 
tion has increased its membership and the effects of its mutual 
educational purpose may be seen in almost every city of the 
United States, where there is a prosperous cemetery located. 

It is safe to say that the Association's influence is now fully 
recognized, since its printed reports on cemetery work are sought 
by libraries and institutions of learning and is known to be the 
oldest of the societies conserving the landscape gardening and 
rural art, in this country. 

Although the work the Association has already accomplished 
has been very satisfactory and receives the support of the fore- 
most cemetery workers, as well as commercial and professional 
men, it is still hoped that its influence will extend to every ceme- 
tery in America and in this way prolong and extend its usefulness. 

The constitution and by-laws of the Association in brief, are 
as follows: The object of this Association shall be the advance- 
ment of the interest and the elevation of the character of the 
cemeteries of America. 

All officers of cemeteries, who present proper credentials at 
the annual meeting to a committee appointed by the president, 

283 



284 FAIRCHILD CEMETERY MANUAL. 

Cemetery Superintendents. 

are admitted to membership, entitled to vote upon all questions, 
and to elect the officers of the Association, who are a president, 
vice-president, secretary and treasurer and an executive com- 
mittee of five members; the president and secretary are members 
of said committee and all other committees. These officers are 
all elected in open meeting by ballot, during the last session of 
the second day's meeting. The time and place of these meetings 
are determined at a meeting of the previous year. The Associa- 
tion has power of electing honorary members, who are privileged 
to all discussions, but have no vote. The constitution may be 
amended by a two-thirds vote of members present and the presi- 
dent has power of filling all vacancies which may occur during 
the year. 

At all meetings, the usual business proceedings are as follows : 
Roll-call, addresses, reports, communications, reading and dis- 
cussing of papers, election of officers, nnfinislied business, new 
business and adjournment. 

Membership fee is $1.50 and the annual dues are $3, payable 
in advance; if dues are not paid for three consecutive years the 
member's name is erased. Membership certificates are prepared 
by the secretary, signed by the president and countersigned by 
the secretary, then given to member upon payment of fee and 
dues.

lowing officers:

Mr. Funeral Director: 



That old customer who needs your services in New York or 
that case to be sent to New York needs consideration as to whom 
you will trust with its details. You want to feel that your patron 
is being so well treated that you will have nothing to apologize 
for in the man that represents you. At the same time you want 
to be sure you are treated fairl3\ 

Our facilities for this service are unsurpassed. 

Our large livery contains the finest hearses and coaches, landaus, 
bus, covered and open wagons, etc. We are centrally located 
with four offices connected by a telephone switchboard with an 
operator in readiness every minute of the day and night. We 
have thirty-three employees including six funeral directors, day 
and night embalmers, woman assistant; all the modern equip- 
ment of the finest quality. 

These things considered with our twenty-five years experience 
and the highest reputation should give assurance that you will 
do wisely in trusting any work in Greater New York to our 
establishment. 

We are giving satisfactory service to many out-of-town funeral 
directors, and are sure if you join the list that your only regret 
will be that you did not do it before. 

Correspondence is solicited.
